I Can't Remember What This Video Is About (seriously)
So I'm just going to paste the code and hit "Publish Post" in a moment. I'm guessing it's good.

Threads
Threads - Nuclear War, 1984
1:47:45 - 3 years ago
Threads is a 1984 television docudrama depicting the effects of a nuclear war on the United Kingdom and its aftermath. Written by Barry Hines and directed by Mick Jackson, Threads was filmed in late 1983 and early 1984. The premise of Threads was to hypothesize the effects of a nuclear war on the United Kingdom after an exchange between the Soviet Union and the United States escalates to include the UK.

The Greatest Political Evisceration In U.S. History
The video of President Obama addressing a Republican conference released today is, in my estimation as a historian, the greatest piece of political theater I have ever seen. The President calmly, coolly, sometimes feistily, factually eviscerated the questioners one by one. Even Republican staffers claimed it was a mistake to allow the cameras in the room. This follows on the heels of his magnificent State of the Union Address.
I have never been more proud of the President, or more proud of myself for voting for him.
It also make plain that the United States should adopt Prime Minister's Question Time as used in Canada, Great Britain, and other parliamentary democracies. Every President should have to face questions from all parties in Congress every week for an hour. (Can you imagine George W. Bush doing that? He'd have been forced to resign after the first one!)
